• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Questions of this nature have been appearing in this House every other day. I am requesting the Minister, so as to save the time of this House and to avoid these kind of Questions coming before this House, to ensure that the implementers; the REA and the Kenya Power and Lighting Company inform the people on the ground, where the projects have stalled and what is happening. That is a very simple thing. You should direct your Ministry to ensure that, that message is passed. We do not have to see such kind of Questions here ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I believe that the Assistant Minister is misleading this House because he is talking about the Free Primary Education Programme. We are talking about boarding primary schools which have been registered. Could he answer the Question? view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, two things are very suspect. First, to drill five boreholes to 280 meters at a cost of Kshs10 million, which is an average cost of Kshs2 million per borehole, is not possible. Chances are that this work will stall. Secondly, on the condition that the contractor will only be paid if water is found, which contractor would want to enter into such contract? Can the Ministry consider using the Kenya Army or the National Youth Service (NYS). The Kenya Army is busy drilling boreholes for politically-correct individuals in this House. Can the Ministry consider using either ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On the same point, I have two boreholes which were drilled by the Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030. They used the criterion of the lowest bidder. One of them is in one of the centres of excellence. The other one is near our home. The contracts were awarded on the basis of the lowest bidder and to date, none of them is operational. So, is the Minister in order to say that the Ministry can only rely on the lowest bidder instead of relying on a ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to understand whether we are going to change procedures of this House to allow Assistant Ministers to seek clarification on issues of the Government they are serving. If that is the case, then we should know from tomorrow that Assistant Ministers will be asking questions. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You notice that when the army doctors saw the blood, they did not do any tests. Now, the Minister has introduced something called “a feeling,” which I do not think is even medical in any way. So, is he in order to continue insisting that there are tests which were done while doctors never did any blood tests? That is a fact. Why was the blood test not done and why is he misleading the House? view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Information and Communications the following Question by Private Notice. Why did the Minister, in appointing the Kenya Broadcasting Corporations’ Board, fail to comply with the provisions of Section 4(1) of KBC Act (Cap. 221) of the laws of Kenya? view

• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Question was not fully answered. That is why we had requested for the Curriculum Vitae. I wish to refer to Standing Order No.97 (1)(f) which reads as follows:- “Conduct is grossly disorderly if the Member concerned deliberately gives false information to the House”. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when this Question was being answered the Minister informed the House that they could not appoint somebody on the board with qualifications in radio communication on the basis that this was a very rare and specialized profession. In the words of the Minister, “it is hard to find ... view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am asking for more time. Rather than waste the House’s time, I ask that the Question be brought back tomorrow. These are many CVs and I cannot peruse them now. view
